I actually cannot find those "ad-persona ramblings" in my post. I can
only imagine that you mean any of those 2 things:

 (a) You repeated popular misconceptions on GC (only statistical, does
     not compact, etc) and I called that FUD.

 (b) I asserted, that "We just don't have a common basis to slug it out and
     come to a rational decision."

Both are not very ad-hominem (indeed they aren't, since it's not an
insult to not have a common basis with me -- I might be a total crank
after all).

But since we are slowly drifting now into that meta-level of "you're
not arguing right, I accuse you of misbehaviour" (and yes the
"ad-persona ramblings" annoys me somewhat), we can as well stop the
discussion here to prevent more damage.

After all: We just don't have a common basis to slug it out and this
is all totally OT in c.l.a. Finally I don't think that repetition will
help to make anything clearer any more.
